**The San Francisco Gourmet Chocolate Tour with three Middle School Teachers

Do you love fine chocolate? Join your Middle School teachers on a 3-hour exploration of San Francisco's best artisan chocolate makers, walking from San Francisco waterfront to Union Square on Saturday, December 1st. Our special chocolate guide will teach us about what makes fine chocolate and its health benefits. We will sample from a wide array of San Francisco gourmet chocolate boutiques with 7 stops with generous tastings at each, all in the middle of San Francisco's festive holiday hustle and bustle. It will be an afternoon to remember! Open to the top three bidders. Restriction: Must love chocolate!

Testimonial: When my teacher said she had an announcement and it involved chocolate I knew I would have to come. As I bit through the sometimes soft, creamy, or hard chocolate I learned how to guess and taste the different ingredients in the gourmet, tasty chocolate. Once you buy this (which I know you will,) you will get to walk down the bustling fun streets of San Francisco and have a great taste in your mouth.
